You guys ever think that the media and us fans make more out of their "rivalry" than there actually is?

DISCLAIMER:

The trash talking that I do occasionally this week is strictly for gamesmanship between opposing fanbases as a result of our upcoming matchup this week on SNF. It by no means should be taken personally.

I think there might be some less than friendly rivalry between the coaches, going back to the USC/Stanford days, but I really only see Harbaugh is being the bitter type when he loses. I do think the media blows it out of proportion.

The players though.....I get the distinct impression that they don't like eachother, and Avril definately doesn't like Davis, so that will start to carry over even more. I see some real streetfights this year between the two teams.

Black people! No. That'd be Sean Payton and Bill Belichick, neither of whom is particularly interested in or capable of being a good company man. But even without them, everyone is having a grand time! There's Jim Harbaugh, photobombing Pete Carroll. Andy Reid, the only one who didn't dress up! I bet these guys are going to do some trust falls, then make Marc Trestman pee his bunk by sticking his fingers in warm water.

So good.

I actually think the two do not like each other. I'm sure they begrudgingly respect each other. But with how deep the two have been intertwined as rivals and the emotions that have spilled over during those heated games I think their is some mutual animosity.

I dontthink its hate, but I think its deep rooted competitiveness

Disagree.

I don't think Harbaugh really has respect for anyone else but himself.

Yeah I think the fans make more out of the rivalry like that dumb statement. He may be a sore loser, but that's going overboard.

He could respond by saying "Who beat the Falcons? Made the Super Bowl? And has a 3-1 record against your team?"

Wait until next season if the Seahawks win again to start that lol.

To be fair, professional sports are what-have-you-done-for-me-lately leagues. Getting to the AFCCG twice in his first two years in the league didn't help Mark Sanchez right now, did it?

Yes I understand, but I'd rather not put the Seahawks in an easy way to ridiculed. I mean he could also say that lately the Seahawks just lost the divisional playoff game and lost to a team the 49ers beat to go to the Super Bowl.

Don't you think that's carrying things a little over the top? I mean really. Do we really have to think Harbaugh is evil? Do we really think he has no respect for another successful NFL coach? Come on, people. Let's not make fools of ourselves. Among other things, Jim Harbaugh joins his church group every off season to go down to poor areas in South America and build school houses. He's not the devil and I'd bet big money that he has a LOT of respect for Pete Carroll. Pete Carroll was defensive coordinator for a Niners Super Bowl team when Harbaugh was still playing and dreaming of becoming a coach someday. Harbaugh is just a prick when it comes to competition, that's all. He's a maniacal competitor, but so is Pete Carroll. They're both just ridiculous competitors.
